The world in motion

As Gustav is whirling around ready to blast America, we are reminded of the incompetence of the Republican administration and the need to make sure we do not have more of the same. McCain and Palin would be even worse than more of the same. McCain's pick of Palin is blatantly opportunistic and shows that he has now no conscience left. He is letting Rovians tell him how to woo the right wing and is using a woman to do it rather than deal with it himself. How deceitful.

As for Democrats, we left Denver wound up and really to make change happen. I am eager to get home to work with everyone - the party and the new folks to make sure we bring the 16th home for the Democrats and thus for PA. We really can do it. I know it sounds impossible but let's not just strive to keep the margin down - let's take it away in every jurisdiction we can. I challenge us to WIN.

Meanwhile I'm in a hotel room in Chicago because the trains were so slow - but don't blame AMTRAK - those people really try to make the system work and they are extremely customer focused. However with the folks in power who dis mass transit AMTRAK doesn't have much of a chance. Let's change that with BIDEN! What a friend we have in Delaware!

Barack Obama hit a home run at the convention - and I was so proud to be a democrat. So many articulate, passionate speakers appeared before the crowds. I was especially impressed, of course, with the women/minorities who don't always get the chance to show their stuff. This time they did - and WOW were they good. I have lots of photos to share and a video of Hillary's talk with her Delegates before the vote. We can justly be proud of her too.
